Druidor Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Found this little site that you just type in your internet connection speeds & it comes back with recomended settings.http://ut-settings.go.pl/I know µTorrent has this function built in but its always nice to find another way of doing it.

Yenkaz Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well, it's helpfull for the conenctions µtorrent doesn't cover itself.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 The numbers provided by that might be a bit on the more extreme end -- µTorrent's more conservative settings generally work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druidor Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well they are working very well for me & my UL/DL speeds appear to be very stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I never said they wouldn't work =PThe point I was trying to get across was that that extra little bit of extremity barely makes any difference, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 The suggested settings for upload slots and half-open slots are excessive.For upload slots it says:"This value should be at least 1, and should take approx. 25% of your Global maximum upload rate setting. Also, tick the Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90% setting for better results."Since my global max upload is 35 KB/sec, it recommends 8 upload slots. But if I have even 2 torrents going at once that means I'm barely giving out 2 KB/sec per upload slot on average.For half-open connections, it's even more insane:"This setting should be approx. 50% of your upload speed (in kilobits/s)."My upload speed in kilobits/sec is 380 -- so my half-open connections should be 190?!?!Many if not MOST routers and modems will have issues with half-open connections so high!

Firon Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I prefer telling everyone to use the Speed Guide. And Ic3d0g's mini-guide on the forum had some bits edited, because they're just bad advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
